✨ my fic recs!
While I'm busy dealing with my artblock, I have decided to finally make my personal jayvik fic rec list. It's useful to have one so I could keep track of my favourite authors and their works that I really enjoyed to read and maybe recommend some of them to you!
1) The Firelight Tree (Tempeste) - E, post-canon, hurt/comfort, slow burn
A perfect way to heal with the boys after the bittersweet finale. Lots of sensual touching and firelights!
2) Cup Rune Over (surveycorpsjean) - E, king Jayce, mage Viktor, sharing a bed, arranged marriage
The sweetest slow burn, a tale about falling in love. I'm a sucker for royal AUs so there was no way I could pass this one up.
3) stir the heart (weatheredlaw) - E, regency au. A lovely tale inspired by dearly beloved P&P. Viktor tinkering with watches and being passionate about antiquities goes as a bonus.
4) the heart is hard to translate (jasspurr) - M, suggestive themes, fluff, massage
A super sweet fic with yearning Jayce and Viktor that takes care of the man. The author's style is chef's kiss.
5) Romance is Stored in the Hands (Tempeste) - M, hand massage, fluff
Officially my comfort fic. I lost count of how many times I read this one ♥️
6) Bubbles (zillac) - M, fluff and humor, drunken confessions
Just boys being total nerds and still impossibly romantic and sweet to each other. One of the funniest jayvik fics I've read so far.
7) The Beginner's Guide to Applied Mathematics (quillquiver) - M, drinking, fluff and humour, Viktor takes care of Jayce, Jayce takes care of Viktor, dirty dancing
Really enjoyed this little series, the author's sense of humour is peak. Points to the dirty dancing because this is the only jayvik fic on ao3 that has this tag. Some tasty smut in the end included!
8) Knuckle-bone, Chokehold (clandestinepasserine) - E, modern setting, religious theme, age difference, t!Viktor
The vivid descriptions of rural views and nature reminded me so much of my childhood while I was reading this story and it felt like I was watching a movie. It warms my heart with bittersweet sadness, melancholy and some kind of nostalgia every time and thus hurts simultaneously, but in a good way of course. Overwhelmed, I cried and laughed and cried again. Definitely will reread this fic in the near future, and more than once.
Bonus: a really lovely country music playlist that perfectly emphasizes the hot summer vibe of 90s.
9) Four Million Miles from Here (LiteralWho) - E, post-canon, slice of life, slow-burn
One of those fics that leave you thinking and feeling melancholically happy for a long time after reading. Amazing character study on Viktor's part, Jayce's encompassing love and his brilliant mind and curiosity that he immediately puts to use for making Viktor feel cherished and deeply loved.
Cw: erotic body horror
9) The Song of Eventide (Tempeste) - E, siren Jayce, astronomer Viktor, heavy angst, hurt/comfort, falling in love
A siren fairytail written by @e11era and illustrated by me. I'm so honoured to be a part of it, literally everything about this story is beautiful. If you haven't given it a chance for any reason or are waiting for this story to end just to finally consume it, consider it as a sign from the stars themselves! We're almost there ✨🌊
